Sounds like this judge gets it.

Another doctor a day earlier had testified that a fetus sometimes does not immediately die after limbs are pulled off.

Dear God...

[hellinahandcart]

OMG, how did this one manage to become a judge in this town?

[MEG33]

No,no,no,Judge,We would never be graphic and describe what actually occurs.That wouldn't be nice.It might cause someone to change their mind or heaven forbid,feel bad.

We tell her the baby, the fetus, is dismembered as part of the procedure, yes,"

Woooops....He's going to have to go back to abortion training school again to learn once and again that is a blob of flesh, NOT A BABY! This guy might have his liberal baby-killer card pulled if he's not careful.....

I didn't even read what was posted...just saw the title. I heard about the trial on Jay Sekulow yesterday. Unbelievable stuff. How does a doctor take the Hippocratic oath and then continue to 'practice' this sort of 'medicine'. How can anyones heart be so hardened to do these types of abortions? Let alone type of abortion. One of the questions to the doc was (leading of course) 'Does this procedure kill the fetus?' His answer ~ 'Of course, it is designed to kill the fetus'.

[hellinahandcart]

Unbelievable!

Yer tellin me...I thought sacricing to Moloch was part of the swearing-in ceremony.

"We try to do it in a way that's not offensive or gruesome or overly graphic for patients," Johnson said.

There are 2 patients having surgery that day...only 1 will remain.

"give couples an intact fetus to grieve over"

There you have it - an admission by both the doctor and the parents that they just killed a child.

These 'parents' don't deserve the right to 'grieve' over the child they just willingly murdered.

"Unbelievable stuff. How does a doctor take the Hippocratic oath and then continue to 'practice' this sort of 'medicine'."

Apparently, they have their fingers crossed when they take the oath.

"...and give couples an intact fetus to grieve over."

I have no words.

[xrp]

Finally, a judge with big kahunas.

[el_chupacabra]

One thing that strikes me is that the Judge had to ask these questions because the lawyer defending the Act failed to do so! Thank God this Judge bailed that lawyer out and now has all this testimony in the record for the inevitable appeal.

[Puddleglum]

Thank goodness for this judge, getting at the truth underneath all the euphemisms.

[basil]

Doctors say the procedures decrease the frequency of surgical instrument insertions into a woman, eliminate the dangers that parts of a broken fetus might be left behind and give couples an intact fetus to grieve over.

Yeah--let's leave them something to "grieve" over.

My God!

[fml]

The judge responded, "Make it nice and palatable so that they wouldn't understand what it's all about?"

As if simply killing is hard to understand.

[Desdemona]

You would think that as newborn boys need anesthesia for circumcision, this should be a no brainer, but no.

And, BTW, doctor, if people need the baby (that's what fetus means) to grieve over...there's no words.

Kudos to this judge.

[shhrubbery!]

Another doctor a day earlier had testified that a fetus sometimes does not immediately die after limbs are pulled off.

Dear God...

It is stunning, isn't it. That people can do this.

We are rightly enraged at the mob's ghastly mutilation of Americans in Fallujah. But most likely those victims were already dead before being dismembered; the babies who are cut to pieces in abortions are not.
